In EnglishSummary SummaryLabour Force
Survey is carried out in compliance with the European Council regulations. When conducting
the Labour Force Survey unified definitions of the employed and unemployed
approved by the International Labour Organization were used. Genesis of the
Labour Force Survey started by Statistics Lithuania goes back to 1998. By 2002
the survey was being carried out twice a year, while the survey coverage
encompassed 3000 households. Since July 2002 the Labour Force Survey has been
carried out permanently, each quarter, with survey coverage accounting for 4000
households. From 2007 the survey sample has been expanded. In I quarter 5500
households were selected, in II, III, IV quarter – each by 7000 househols. A continous survey
is such a survey when 1/13 of the population sampled for the survey is
interviewed each week. Also, each quarter 25 per cent of te sampled households
are replaced. The selection of households is accomplished appying a sampling
method and using the Population Register. The sample includes the population of
all cities and some villages. The survey is carried by interviewers who fill in
the questionnaires basing on the respondents‘ answers (face-to-face interview
or by telephone). Over IV Q 2007 as
many as 12.1 thousand or 0.42 per cent of the population aged 15 and older were
interviewed. Due to certain resons 25 per cent of sampled households did not
respond. The released survey data have been recalculated in reference to total
population. Labour
